Chapter 1637 Defending Daimon -Part 26

?

When Jin and Cloudie arrived back at the airfield, the maintenance people were clapping and shouting since they knew of what the Interim Leader had done. At first, they were shocked. Shocked that everyone within that area including the Forest Trolls suddenly disappeared.

There were no communications to and fro and everyone initially thought that Jin had committed suicide with the rest of the Eastern Daimon Assault Force to keep the peace. Then their despair set in seeing that more Forest Trolls were emerging from the dungeon entrance, fresh from the oven to say the least.

The military council old men wanted to take control of the situation immediately but the officers did not move an inch away from commanding what was left. Even if Jin did not explicitly say it, they all had the feeling he would return and not abandon them.

Besides, the military council was unable to do anything as there was a law that stipulated the lead command could only be taken if the command had been gone for more than 30 minutes. This was to ascertain the loss of the commander, and officially allow the second in command to take over. Jin had no idea of that particular rule but the officers within that headquarters, within that small little bunker filled with anxiety knew that rule very very well.

They were adamant that the old men could not take over and they held on together even though the military council had summoned the military police to the scene. However, because of the rule stipulated by the programming, those Mechanoids were also unable to do anything until the 30 minutes mark was over. Thus, all the old men did was bid time not knowing that Jin would eventually return to the same plane giving them the biggest surprise of their lives.

The officers who were sweating buckets trying to keep things together were both delighted and relieved when they saw the signal of the entire Eastern Daimon Assault Force had come online. Not only that, the number of Forest Trolls had been reduced by more than 75% in the span of fifteen minutes.

Everyone within the room had no idea what was happening and even the old men were stunned. The military police, on the other hand, acknowledged the presence of the Interim Leader returning back to base and thus ignored the calls and orders of the military council. They quickly move to their secondary duties as assigned by the plans to defend the area.

But that was not the only emotion the maintenance people saw as when they opened the door for the Interim Leader, there was blood all over the cockpit. At first, they thought there might be some infighting against trolls and later found out that the helicarrier copilot was killed.

"If you are able to find his name through the records, give him a proper burial. He fought hard during our skirmish with the Forest Trolls. He was not able to survive the blow. It was a clean strike through his neck." Jin said as he was careful enough to conjure an icicle that popped out of his throat and not through the entire chair or cockpit. The fact that Jin was already holding the co-pilot in his hands had already manipulated the murder scene but it was something only 2LT Cloudie and Jin that knew the entire story.

After all, the System had already removed the data within the onboard AI and there was nothing that could prove the co-pilot was an assassin or how he was being killed. The maintenance people could only lament at the loss of a fellow pilot that had flown in defence of Daimon City even though he was not from this area.

"You sure it's a good idea to do this?" Cloudie asked as he passed a flask of water to Jin.

"He probably did not want to be in this situation. Either that, his heart had been filled with too much fear that he had to do this. Let's hope that his next life, would be a more fulfilling one." Jin said as he thanked Cloudie for the water while his Grey Bear Squad instantly appeared from one of the hangar doors.

"Commander, I heard that you were…" Before Yinn could say anything, she saw what had happened to the co-pilot. "Condolences, I believed you tried to save him."

"Perhaps." Jin sighed as he looked at his Grey Bears. "I assumed that if almost all of you are here, we can proceed with the next phase?"

"Yes, Commander. Click is just doing the finishing touches for the net but we still need some time for the production of the flying turrets. Click said she had overloaded her capacity and needed some time to cool down, that is why most of us return here since the area we are making the flying turrets is nearby. "Yinn reported. "It is the responsibility of the Mechanoids to check whether the commander had been visibly harmed especially since he decided to do Solo missions himself.

"Yeah, my bad. Thank you."

"Click also said that she had to at least spray paint the net with 'Fuck You Commander Jin" before returning to report you," Yinn stated and the rest giggled a little with a small smile on their faces.

"She is not wrong, I did pressure her to do that. In any case, standby for orders, and make sure the defensive perimeters within the city are still within acceptable limits. We will be here for the long haul." Jin replied and the rest saluted him before returning to Click's torturous production of flying turrets.

"I get some rest and maybe find another co-pilot for myself." 2LT Cloudie said as he saluted Jin and the Interim Leader got into a jeep where he was being escorted back to the military headquarters.

"I assumed the old men tried to overtake my position?" He asked the military driver who happened to be an officer in the headquarters as well. He got the lucky draw to come out of that hell bunker and drive Jin back. In the meantime, it's to update the leader on his progress as well.

"Yes, Sir. Thank you for not abandoning us."

"No, Officer. Thank you for believing in me." Jin smiled faintly as he enjoyed the 'quiet' scenery the airfield had to offer.
